Description

Since the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, many people, businesses, and institutions have denounced systemic racism and police brutality. However, the property damage and looting that have co-existed with the peaceful protests have left some American reluctant to support the movement. To gain a better understanding of the current unrest, join us in this discussion with Rashawn Ray, a David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution. His information can be found here: https://www.brookings.edu/experts/rashawn-ray/. We will also be getting an update on the pandemic situation in Chile from Gonzalo Bacigalupe, who leads the Citizen Education & Governance Team at the Research Center for Integrated Disaster Risk Management in Santiago, Chile. His information can be found here: https://bacigalupe.wordpress.com/.
